> they say that the "largest snowflake" is one that fell near Missoula, Montana in 1887. It reportedly was 15 inches in diameter and 8 inches thick. Near there is where I experienced my biggest snowflakes: 4-6 inches long, 2 inches in diameter. We call them goose feathers. In this particular storm, these fell for a good half hour before returning to normal coin sized flakes. As for snow crystals, many don't realize you can see those with the naked eye as seen in the freshly fallen snowflake photo on this wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowflake https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowflake
